They can be used in the majority of public AC charging stations, even those rated for higher power output. They are a lighter weight than the equivalent 32 Amp cable which can also be advantageous when storing and using your charging cable.

Unfortunately current BMW 225xe models are not supplied with on-board chargers capable of taking advantage of Fast Charge options. Although as a Hybrid Electric Vehicle this is somewhat less of an issue than with purely electric models.

Even though they will not speed up the charging of your BMW 225xe our 32 Amp cables may still be the right choice for you.

This Fast Charge rate (32 Amp / 7.2kW) is fast becoming the standard across the UK with the majority of Slow Charge stations already being replaced. Should you choose to upgrade your 225xe it is likely that any future vehicle will be capable of Fast Charge. Many people also find the heavier, more substantial cable to be reassuring should the cable be run-over.
